The wife of an American pastor who's been sentenced to eight years in prison in Iran says the Islamic regime views his Christianity as a national security threat.
Pastor Saeed Abedini's (sah-EED'- ah-beh-DEE'-neez) wife Naghmeh (NAHG'-meh) says her husband has worked with house churches in Iran and has shared his Christian faith, but has steered clear of politics.
She says he told his parents during a jail visit Monday that he's appealing the sentence handed down Sunday by an Iranian judge.
The 32-year-old pastor's wife and their two young children live in Boise, Idaho. She says they haven't seen him since June and pray every night that he'll be allowed to return home.
The U.S. State Department has called for Abedini's release and has condemned what it calls "Iran's continued violation of the universal right of freedom of religion."
Boise pastor says he will appeal sentence in Iran

COLUMBIA — Ongoing and upcoming construction projects were among a few topics dominating Wednesday evening's first Ward Check-In meeting
Residents of the First Ward were the primary attendees of the meeting at the Daniel Boone City Building, where First Ward Councilman Fred Schmidt and other department heads spoke about issues concerning the area. Officials and members of the public discussed topics such as planning and development, public projects and public safety.
Before those discussions kicked off, however, City Manager Mike Matthes began meeting with a simple statement: why he loves Columbia.
"One of the things that I love is the city government. This (type of meeting) doesn't happen in New York City. ... You have to buy your way in (there)," he said.
During the meeting, David Nichols, assistant Public Works director, discussed upcoming and ongoing construction to correct the area's sewer and stormwater systems.
Other construction planned for this year will take place on Anderson Avenue and Ash Street, a traffic signal at Walnut Street and College Avenue and a crosswalk light at Tenth and Rogers street.
At the end of the meeting, Matthes told residents that this year, he will work with other departments to improve roads, prevent crimes and balance the city's budget.
Supervising editor is Allie Hinga.

Hurricane Sandy underscored the need for New York consumers to have an understanding of their property insurance coverage, says Benjamin Lawsky, superintendent of the state Department of Financial Services. The department plays an education role, but agents must help clients understand the policies they buy, Lawsky said. "We need to have a very serious discussion ... about what we can do to make policies, especially homeowners policies, a little more uniform and a little bit easier to understand," Lawsky said.

Grape soda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article does not cite any references or sources. (January 2012) |
Grape soft drinks (also known as grape drink, grape soda, or grape pop in certain regions of the US) are carbonated grape drinks.
Grapeade first appeared as a variety of carbonated drink provided in soda fountains in American drugstores in the late nineteenth century, brands including Miner's and Lash's. A recipe for homemade grapeade appears in editions of Fannie Farmer's cookbook.

Falcon 9 rocket engines briefly ignite on launch pad BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: March 13, 2010 SpaceX successfully fired the Falcon 9 rocket's nine Merlin engines on a Florida launch pad Saturday, completing a key preflight test before the privately-developed booster is cleared for launch in April.
"Today, SpaceX successfully completed a test firing of the inaugural Falcon 9 launch vehicle at Space Launch Complex 40 located at Cape Canaveral," the company said in a written statement. "Following a nominal terminal countdown, the launch sequencer commanded ignition of all 9 Merlin first stage engines for a period of 3.5 seconds." Steam and exhaust gushed from the pad's flame trench and was quickly dispersed by strong winds. Four swing arms held the rocket firmly to Earth. The engine test punctuated several hours of countdown preparations, including loading of kerosene and liquid oxygen propellants into the rocket. About 30 launch controllers managed the operations from the SpaceX Launch Control Center at the southern perimeter of Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Engineers tried to light the Falcon 9 first stage Tuesday, but a high pressure helium valve did not open during the ignition sequence. The helium is used to spin up the turbopumps in each of the nine Merlin 1C engines. Thunderstorms and high winds prevented SpaceX from trying a countdown on Thursday and Friday. Founded in 2002 by Internet mogul Elon Musk, SpaceX is competing for rights to carry NASA astronauts to orbit under the agency's new policy of procuring commercial crew transportation services. SpaceX is headquartered in Hawthorne, Calif. The company has released detailed updates on the cause of Tuesday's aborted engine test and other progress, but SpaceX was unable to announce when it would make static fire attempts. Officials did not give reports on the status of the Falcon 9 countdown, despite multiple requests for information. The real-time information vacuum is a departure from typical rocket operations at Cape Canaveral. The high profile of the first Falcon 9 launch is garnering more interest than most unmanned missions departing from the spaceport.
Officials say Saturday's ground test was one of the final steps before launch of the Falcon 9, which is scheduled for no earlier than April 12. The static fire verified all of the launch pad's ground systems are ready to support the mission. Between now and launch, engineers will install the rocket's flight termination system charges that would destroy the vehicle if it flew off course and threatened the public. SpaceX took residence at Complex 40 in 2007, taking over the historic launch pad that hosted more than 50 Titan rocket launches between 1965 and 2005. The Falcon 9 reuses the Titan-era concrete flame trench and water deluge systems, but SpaceX built its own assembly hangar and transporter/erector, which also serves as an umbilical tower. "Just prior to engine ignition, the pad water deluge system was activated providing acoustic suppression to keep vibration levels within acceptable limits," the SpaceX statement said. "The test validated the launch pad propellant and pneumatic systems as well as the ground and flight control software that controls pad and launch vehicle configurations." The so-called hotfire also exercised the launch team and the Air Force Eastern Range. The Falcon 9's first launch will be a demonstration mission destined for a low-altitude orbit about 155 miles above Earth. "The completion of a successful static fire is the latest milestone on the path to first flight of the Falcon 9 which will carry a Dragon spacecraft qualification unit to orbit," officials wrote in a statement Saturday. The Dragon is the space component of SpaceX's end-to-end transportation system. Once launched by the Falcon 9 on future flights, the Dragon will fly to the International Space Station to deliver supplies to the orbiting lab.
SpaceX plans a shakedown flight of the Dragon in July, followed by a rendezvous demonstration with the space station in November. But those schedules hinge on a timely and successful Falcon 9 test flight in April. Orbital Sciences Corp. is designing and building a competing system using the Taurus 2 rocket and Cygnus cargo freighter. Orbital will launch the Taurus 2 from Wallops Island, Va., starting in March 2011. The Falcon 9 and Dragon are positioned to carry future astronaut crews to the outpost under NASA's proposal to solicit commercial providers for human transportation to low Earth orbit. Other rockets, including the Atlas 5, Delta 4 and Taurus 2 vehicles, could also bid for commercial crew contracts. SpaceX says the Falcon 9 and Dragon can be modified to safely deliver astronauts to space by 2013, or about two-and-a-half years after winning a contract. |

Gigi's Bar - Detroit, Michigan (Gay Bar)
32 comments:
- AnonymousSeptember 28, 2009 at 6:41 PM
Wow someone does NOT know GIGI'S. I think this is a great idea, but do the facts about the bars, not your personal opinions.The origial owner of the bar was Tony Garneau,36 years ago. When Tony died he left the bar to his long time employees, what other bar owner do you know that has done that? The show director is Nickki Stevens, I have never seen the Flipper show you talk about, although she might have done that, she does sooo many shows that might be one of them. But you don't like drags show that is obvious by your ick remark. Nickki brings in all kinds of talent from all around the states, she is not the "only" entertainer at the bar. The head DJ is Chico, and he does NOT play hard core rap or hip-hop. Over 36 years I would say GIGI'S has given so much back into our community, the review you gave is just awful!

I used to go to Gigis every Monday night. I could swear back in the day they had strippers downstairs. Anywho, enjoyed it big time. I hate that some bars are starting to go the rap/hip hop route in music. For me, gay bars are where you go to get lost in the beat, thump, fast pace of the music. Rap/Hip hop does not do that for me.. But hey, we cannot have our way everywhere..
ReplyDelete - AnonymousFebruary 22, 2010 at 1:22 PM
gigi's is awesome!!! lots of history and fun. They play more than hip hop and rap. To be in a nice happy inviroment where you can be yourself, strait or gay, is an awesome feeling. They do need to fix up basement, but its still a blast. Thanks gigis

The reason to go to Gigi's is Tempest. She can still put on a show, and is an institution at the bar.

While most of the gay bars in Detroit are in shady parts of the city, the atmosphere inside often times (but not always) doesn't feel too shady. This place is an exception - shady on the outside, shady on the inside. The clientele seemed to be mostly dead-enders and twinks hustling.
Always, always valet your car there. About five years ago, someone was shot in the head on the side street. I saw him laying in the gutter - that was the last time I went there. - AnonymousApril 2, 2010 at 10:00 AM
Where else but Detroit do they shuffle the gay community off into the worst crack areas of the city? Too many GD breeder bars anyway....let the gays have some nice places to go for a change!!!
ReplyDelete - AnonymousApril 23, 2010 at 12:08 PM
This place sucks big time. Every employee there is miserable. They have a bartender that is an ugly girl pretending to be an even uglier boy that hates her job and it shows. Why would a business have someone like this on their staff? I thought the whole idea was to serve drinks and try to make customers stay. The go go boys are skinny skanky and very unfriendly. They spend all of their time in the backroom, some entertainment. Yes the drinks are strong but overpriced. And lets not forget the head DRAG Queen Nikki Stevens ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS IS TALENT doesn't know talent. Someone wrote she brings in talent from around the country, yep Denise Russel who does the same dam show day in and day out everytime she is here, just like the shows every Saturday. God forbid if Stevens new the words of a song or to do something different. She stole and steals all her ideas from others. Is it a rule that Drag Queens have to be fat, Ugly and with no talent? Just a suggestion put Sabin in charge! She is fresh personable and a hell of a lot of fun. Put Nikki Stevens out to pasture where her tired nasty ass belongs. This bar is definately not the same since the origianl owner Tony Garneau passed. If he only new these boobs would run his legacy into the ground I bet he would have burned it down first before leaving it to "His loyal staff" as someone wrote. To each his own and if you have a good time being around low lifes, so be it.

I used to go to GiGi's back in the early eighties, It was a lot of fun then. (The days of Madonna, Boy George, Human League, Cyndy Lapeur,B52s) The shows were great, and the people were fun, wasn't so sleazy as it sounds now. I was a senior in high school, and really just wanted to go out and dance and have some fun with friends. They always let us in, and nobody ever bothered us. young and beautiful, finding and expressing ourselves, and meeting exciting and interesting people. we became fans of the shows there and the queens at that time, Tempest, Jennifer Foxx Vanessa Lasalle, Cellophane..and others. it was always packed. We enterted Miss amateur GigGi's 1983, just for fun, and I won! So then started doing shows around the show bars (Pink Flamingo-6mi), for a while. The experience of performing in those shows, was an unforgettable experience for a young actor singer. Such great fun, learning about make up and costumes, show numbers, what a great group of talent and fun people to be around, and they were all so encouraging as well. Fun memories. I wasn't really a bar person, it was nice to be around people that excepted you for you and all your madness, and appreciated and encouraged it.
-Well ALLLL-RITE!..

OMG - I have pictures of cellophane doing drag in rollerskates. Lady T Tempest was one of the first people I ever met in drag at The Gas Station on E 3 mile & Woodward (since burned down and there is now a golden arches in it's place. A fitting tribute). Wish I had spent more time at GiGi's back in the 80's when I was doing drag. I lived closer to The Deck on Jefferson. So Jacquie Chambers and Bill (Hummin' Helen) were my girls. I did a couple of patrons shows there. We had SO much fun at The Deck.
I remember meeting the owner of GiGi's at a gay lib function back in the 1870's & he was a really nice guy. That's how I found out about the bar because he had just opened it. It had 2 floors, the upstairs had 2 giant plaster versions of Michelangelo's David flanking the bar. Downstairs was a disco with plexiglass (?)floors that had blinking lights underneath. Gigi's was in competition with Menjo's at the time & I remember it was the first time I ever heard "Honeybee" & "INever Can Say Goodbye" by Gloria Gaynor. Also, "Highjack Your Love" by Herbie Mann.

I too remember the paintings also on the wall Gay paree. But in the basement The plexiglass with the blinking color light were only on the wall I do believe, sorry the floor was always a wood floor. I too first heard the song Honeybee. Thank you for the memory,

GiGi's was the first gay bar for many westside gay guys. In the 70's, they served dinners upstairs and downstairs was the disco. Over the years, they've closed and reopened both levels. It was a place where young guys could finally be themselves. It has a long history and some really great people owned and worked there.

Michael also did my drag-makeup for Halloween (nothing scarier has since been seen!). I talked to Vanessa one year before he passed away. Will always remember him for his performances both onstage and off. God bless him, Steve, Tony, Bob and everyone. Haven't been in Detroit in years. Steve, if you see this, you should know who I am. Love you all!!!

I went to Gigi's in the late eighties when I was still in high school. It was the first gay bar that any of us went to, and it was a very important part of discovering myself as a lesbian. When we hung out there, it was mostly women downstairs and mostly men upstairs. It was seedy then as well, but it didn't matter -- it felt like the only safe place we had to be ourselves. Outside was dangerous back then -- you didn't go in or out by yourself, ever. They did have shows downstairs, but I'd call them "burlesque", not "strip". I will never ever forget our favorite performer -- Liz. She was beautiful.

I figured someone may know this history. I think GiGi's used to be Parkland Lanes way back in the day my Grandpa McIntyre ran it and my Grandma Bartended. Does this sound familiar to anyone I can find no history!

I had always heard stories that there is a bowling alley under the parking lot. So what you say makes sense. The "Warren Theater" used to be next door to Gigi's. Anybody remember that.

Thing is. you can read this and judge Gigi's based on what poeple are saying here, or you can get off you ass and head to the bar to check it out on your own.

GIGI's doesn't beat the bars in Toledo. The guys that go there are all whores especially the strippers. The one stripper Kyle Hake went through 20 guys in 3 months, he isn't attractive at all, and you can tell that he was fat by the flab in his abs. GIGI's gets the rejects from Toledo and Detroit. I wouldn't go there unless I was looking for an STD.

ReplyDelete I'm not sure if it was called Parkland Lanes, but there used to be a bowling alley in the basement of Gigi's. Actually, I cannot believe this place is still open. It was a dump in a seedy neighborhood in the 80's when I went there. I did DJ there a few times, and so did my friend Alan Loftus, for many years. Drag shows were in the basement and the gogo boys were upstairs. They had a poor sound system back then, and the music always sounded muffled. However. I was there every Monday night for the shows and always had a great time. It was THE place to go on Mondays.

Yes, it's a run-down dump and it smells bad (like mildew and shit that's poorly masked by Pine-Sol), but I've had some good times and seen some great drag there over the years. And there's something about the ecletic mix of youth that goes to GiGi's that is quite special and unique in our city. I love the comingling of all our Detroit cultures: White, Black, Latino, Arabic...all united together in the purpose of trying to have a little fun here on Earth. I could happily people watch all night!

I grew up in Warrendale area and I remember visiting my mother who was working at a sauna house next door to GIGI's in the 70.s. My first time in GIGI's was in the 90's. Regretfully, my last visit was somewhere around 2004 as I have moved away since then. Respectfully, GIGI's is a historical gay landmark, a gay culture icon and has a cult following that should be documented in a coffee table book.

I worked for Gigi's from late Autumn of 84 until late Summer of 1985. I was a cocktail waiter and a fill in go-go boy. I remember working with Greg the truck driver by day and bartender at night (I had a terrible crush on him), Bill the bartender (such a ball of energy and comedy) and I remember Paul managing the place and Tony talking to the staff after hours when everything was cleaned up (well, Gigi's version of clean) and it was almost time to leave for the night. I remember one night how we prepared to leave the bar and lock it up for the evening and how I and all of the other staff members had to run to our cars because someone was shooting at us as we made our exit that night. I also remember that I quit my job at Gigi's in order to compete for the title of Miss Amateur Gigi's. I was a performer and when I saw all of the other drag queens, I felt competitive and wanted to do it too. I took on the personna of Marlena Heart-Leigh and I competed against Toulula (who had a very naughty history at Gigi's) and Tabatha (who's gown fell off during her rendition of "I'm walking on Sunshine". I was really proud that I won the title and did several other pageants. I also remember that I had to relinquish my title and my crown to Toulula when I left Michigan for Dallas and never did drag again. I had some really good times there and I will always think of a place where I came alive as a young gay man and I made friends with an awesome and diverse group of people.

LOL So how many 5000yd seasons did Dilfer throw for? Yes because anyone in this league can throw for 5000yds right??? Homie your mod privilges should be suspended for a month just for the fact you posted that kind of nonsense on here.
Projecting out a player's stats to 16 games is a waste of time. You never get anything useful out of numbers like that. Peyton Manning, if he keeps up his pace, is going to throw for 5880 yards, 64 TDs, rush for -28 yards, and throw zero interceptions. See how useless that is?
We're just gonna have to let the season play out. Jay could turn it all around yet. Or he could bust. Or he could be somewhere in the middle. I started this thread and in hindsight, it's a stupid one. My bad.
Cutler is not going to throw 24 interceptions this year under Trestman. It's not a best case scenario. It's a nothing stat that gives little info.
Yes Stafford was so AWESOME last year he led the lions to a 4-12 record with a TD total of 20 and 17 INTS. One more thing if you want to rip Cutler for his record vs the packers you will not like Stafford record vs the packers.

Originally posted by Pigglesworth Absolutely no way....CC kills pvp in games. I don't mind a little...but most games have CC that just takes over and the game is all about CC. Incognito |
Reading all the dev announced features - EQN so far has removed every cool mechanic from EQ1 - the game to me screams "ultra casual" IMO the chance of a CC class in EQN is about nil. Not gonna happen, not in this one. |
Enchanter in EQ1 was a crazy exciting class to play in dungeon groups. EQ1 did so many things right, even though half of them were accidental. FD pulling, enchanters, amazing buff system, etc. I do agree that the EQ1 enchanters were a little too powerful though. There needs to be an upper limit on how many targets you could affect at once. Enchanters were so powerful that they could chain stun an entire dungeon while wizards AoE'd them to death, etc. Stuns needed a maximum # of targets, and mez probably should have only been able to be cast on so many targets at a time. Later on, enchanters and CC became fairly worthless in EQ though. Instead of cleaning up the system with sensible nerfs they just made the entire system irrelevant by giving all mobs immunity to CC. I would like to see a class like Enchanter again, or something similar that focuses on CC. I think it's a very unique support role that alot of people miss. I'd love to see things like FD pulling make a comeback, too. Pulling, in general, is a dead art much like CC. Yes, PvP is a different story with CC, and a CC class would need completely different balancing in PvP than in PvE, but I don't think that's an excuse to not have one ever. All classes get balanced differently in PvP than PvE in most games anyhow. Most classes in the last several MMO rehashes have had some type of CC, so it's not really that big of a deal. Everything today is just a mess with a bunch of players spamming dps/aoe on a blob of enemies with no thinking required. It's a sad state these days. |

Originally posted by Pigglesworth I agree but it will not happen. This game is all about appealing to the masses. Little Johnny will not like it if he is expected to do anything but mash a couple buttons over and over with his face. Games that require thought and decision making are frowned upon these days. If the game does not have a mindless zerg mentality the masses will not play it. So which game do you think EQnext will be when it is trying to appeal to the masses? |

The problem with MMo's today is PVP! Idiot devs waste way too much and time catering to this loud, slightly demented minority ruining what could be many awesome games to cater to whining fools who think their sick need to assault others is more important then having games that are fun and worth playing....as has been for many years now PvP is the problem not the solution...make the sickos go away and mmos will be fun again |
Originally posted by ego13 Ego If you are CC'd why isnt your group members removing the debuff? sounds to me you need a better group, not have the devs auto debuff you. again mmorpg - role playing, you way of thinking is that of having 1 man or woman in the world being able to do everything imaginable to man, a man with no arms cant throw a baseball man, but with the help of a doctor, he could have a prosthetic arm put on, have the docter then clamp it around a baseball, and the kid could throw the ball. ITs an easy concept really, and to be honest, thats what MMOs are missing these days, the dependence of other players, if you want the world at your finger tips man go play RTS games like warcraft and starcraft. |
Originally posted by Bigmamajama I wouldn't do that. Actually I hope each and every CC-fan get exactly what they wan't in EQ Next. Who knows... Those people might stop pouring out their CC-demanding idiocy in the the GW2 community? For that reason alone I hope EQ-N will give them every conceiveable sleep, permastunlock and unavoidable fear they can dream up. As long as they keep those mechanics away from "our" game! (GW2). We dont need casuals in our games!!! Errm... Well we DO need casuals to fund and populate our games - But the games should be all about "hardcore" because: We dont need casuals in our games!!! |
everything should be the same in pvp and pve, no cc is indefinate with another class to remove that cc, i remember killing a top guild enchanter and pally in Bastion of Thunder back in the day while they were trying to take my groups rare spawn by simply spamming Nullify Magic on the enchanters charmed krieger, point is, if your parnter is being chain cc'd, then you need to be chain dispelling them, its the counter, deal with it, where is your cc back up should be the question in your head, multi classing is complete garbage, along with instances, if their werent instances, the communities in these mmos wouldnt have half the assholes they do. sorry for the language. Community, and diversity, banding together to overcome that which they couldnt not do themselves. you want your cc breaker? its the cleric or druid over there to your right.
Its easier for a dev to put in a super kool double action spin attack of blazing doom. Kids today just want mass slaughter like GW2. Just spin to win and collect lewts. Would love to see CC make a comeback.
I like both PvE and PvP however, I hate CC in PvP (makes it boring and annoying) but for PvE it works great because it lets people play their class and their role in a group or raid better. Original Everquest had it right when they built their classes. Each class had specific roles. You knew every time what you would be doing in a group and you would strive to get better and better at it. These days things are too sugar coated. I understand players want more choice and control and customization of their character but... that's what alts are for I.M.O.
The concept of CC suffers from crippling overspecialization. Even if you DO somehow "balance" it correctly, by nature it's going to be either too powerful (when you're fighting a crowd) or too useless (when you're... well, not fighting a crowd). That's assuming you somehow manage to "balance" it in the first place so that it's useful for what it does (crowd control) without being too powerful for everything else as well, which is already really difficult to do. |
So, the only people who do no want Enchanters back and powerful are people concerned with PvP? Reminds me why I dislike pvp in these games. Trying to balance stuff out to fit both play styles is never going to work. At least not as well if you truly focused in on one aspect over the other. |
Originally posted by bcbully You should "bye" a dictionary. |
Your point is completely off base. CC was way too powerful in regular EQ because it was too reliable and let you lock down mobs for infinite time frames. Disliking PvP because it makes you actually balance the game is just silly as well. There is almost never something that is balanced in PvE yet overpowered in PvP, the range of how overpowered it is does vary but the fact it is overpowered in the first place almost never does. |
I miss Crowd control and pulling that required skill on EQ1... Of course enchanters were op with runes that let them tank mobs in plane of earth, but the crowd control was why they were meant to have poor dps, except for that insanely dangerous charm that would break and wipe the group. Now, they just turned enchanters and bards on Everquest 2 into dps classes that top the dps chart, and don't do any form of crowd control ><. Buffs in Everquest 1 were better and more complicated, bards were awesome without melody command although carpel tunnel set in, and it would be sweet if they'd actually bring back cc functionality. Bards used to mana drain Gorenaire before a pull so she couldn't cast spells to heal herself... Why did they take mana drain out of Everquest 2 and put dmg on the spell instead? Sick and tired of enchanters being dps chain casting , this is nothing like Everquest 1's version of the enchanter class. All they do is quick spam chain casting on Everquest 2. Also, the inability to permanently buff means you can't get a clarity and keep it from an enchanter, as you have to be in group with them the entire time to get mana. Now, mobs are linked and you can't seperate them on pull, there is no longer any skill in pulling, monks/bards/rangers used to be awesome pullers. Debuffs used to actually matter on a shaman!! |
Oh, Mezmerize was never op in pvp and has nothing to do with it. If you were fighting an enchanter all you did was click a weak detrimental damage over time (dot) on yourself, and the mez would instantly break each tick. No enchanter would use mez as a viable pvp strategy, instead they'd use charm and try to get you to fall into lava or run you off a cliff. However, even with tashania couldn't you get a high sv magic to resist them? I know that my wizard was useless in pvp duels, because I could just be resisted up the wazoo and lures were to weak. So, I dunno how hard it would be to resist an enchanter's charm. It was funny how enchanters could charm pets to wipe out their master, but mez was really a fun game mechanic back then and pvp shouldn't reduce the variety of pve gamestyles. PVP always ends up nerfing and turning pve into a boring homogenized dull monotonous game. Didn't all races on wow lose racial traits like night elf starfall because of pvp inbalances? I dunno, I was disappointed when they took the racial quests spells out and redesigned it . Of course Mesmerize was overpowered with the ability to cast tashania magic debuff. However, it didn't have to be that way. Everquest 2 made charm so easy and yet so gimp weak at the same time. Guarenteed 30 minutes that the mob won't break, however it hits so weak. Everquest 1 the mob would break at any second in tipt and would wipe the group. Charm should have been an extremely powerful but deadly spell, not a gimp weakling mob that loses all of its strength, but won't break for half an hour spell. They didn't want enchanters to op with charm so they nerfed it all the way down, however, what they did on Everquest 2 makes more sense. With mob immunities they can't be charmed if they are elite powerful mobs. Bosses can't be charmed or mezmerized, therefore why make the lower trash that can be charmed so gimp? Just pick what people are allowed to charm, and let them retain their power. Make it like Everquest 1 again, where we had no idea what trash would summon and kill us, or what was snare/root immune and would kill us. You would have to figure out what mobs charm and mez. Or what mobs were immune with high magic sv. They need to bring skill back to games. |
You could mez 6 mobs or so on Everquest 2, which was enough for Sandstorm in Maidens. However, they didn't usually give you enough adds to make all of that power useful, especially when they gave Ilusionists an extra mez that is never needed. So, an ily could probably hold down an additional 1 or 2 mobs that a coercer can't for perhaps 7 or 8 mobs held down? Or, if you're counting aoe linked mobs you could then hold down even more. Still, if they were going to make mez harder to do, they'd have to take away enchanters dps role, now they are expected in EQ2 to pull out high numbers while ccing, just like bards are expected to hit jester's cap and be buff bots while topping the dps chart. Back in Everquest 1 no one expected an enchanter or a bard to be dps, which meant their entire job was cc and debuff/buffing. Bards cc was far more challenging than enchanters, but enchanters in EQ1 still had to do debuffs and runes on themselves as well as party members, and watch the buff timers. By making cc harder, they would have been adding in another mana drain on enchanters (in original EQ1) back when they didn't have enough mana to use. In the days before KEI, clarity was not providing much mana and there was no AA or flowing thought mana focus on equipment. Out of combat regen was terrible, so an enchanter had to sit for a long period of time to have the mana to buff, legacy of ykesha mana drain spell theft of thought was used constantly for mana. If they had to keep mezzing back then, they would have had no mana to be doing the buffs that wore off in less than an hour. There was also no buff extension AA or focus, and no mass group buff AA. I don't think they should have ever upped the out of combat regen so much as they did, the social mmo aspect came from the waiting on buffs and mana... Clarity was a must have to speed up the regen!! Of course, it isn't as bad as it is on EQ2, where they really made food and drink nearly worthless, since out of combat a starved dehydrated char will still regain all their mana and hp just fine! |

Digital Library
I've found that the digital camera is a wonderful classroom tool. Since I use it frequently, I found a solution to scanning through the disks to find just the picture that I want. I created a template in Print Shop, which shows each picture on the disk. Then I print out the pictures and store them in a loose-leaf binder. I put each page in a vinyl sleeve and put the disk in with it. That way, when we want a particular picture, we can search the notebook instead of the disk. It saves a lot of time.

One minute can change your whole life. The Barrick family's life was irrevocably changed when a drunk driver careened into their van at eighty miles an hour. The entire family was hurt—but fifteen-year-old Jennifer's injuries were so devastating that paramedics thought she had no chance to live. As Jen lay in a coma, her mother, Linda, pleaded with God to heal Jen from her severe brain trauma—to let her daughter be "normal." When Jen finally awoke, however, it became clear that normal would have to be redefined. She seemed to have gained a new capacity—perhaps a miraculous one—for connecting with God.
Was this the miracle Linda had prayed for? If so, was it enough? Could she trust God with Jen's future in the wake of the accident? Could she trust in His love for them all? Discover how God turned normal into extraordinary in this transformational story of hope and love. Now includes bonus chapter with updates on the Barrick family and amazing new stories about Miracle for Jen's impact in the world!

There Will NOT Be a Test
...there was, at one time, a set basket of knowledge that schools would provide and if you went to all of those classes, you were educated. In the past twenty years or so, the amount of information has ramped up so much and the rate at which it multiplies has grown exponentially, now there is no way anyone could settle on a group of facts to provide that would hold you in good stead in the future. So what we do is teach you how to learn. We cannot know what you will need to learn, but we can teach you how to think, how to solve problems, how to research to find answers, and how to communicate what you need and what you know with others. Algebra is a way to think, a way to solve problems by recognizing equations. Problems that may not even have numbers in them. They may have words, in which case we call it logic. So if A equals B, and if I add C to A, I have to add C or something very like it to B to achieve the same result.

Jered Weaver's fake to third, throw to first results in two outs for Angels
Jul 15, 2012, 2:32 PM EDT
Jered Weaver hasn't had a whole lot of luck shutting down the Yankees' bats today, but he made them look like Little Leaguers on the basepaths.
With runners on the corners and one out in the third inning today, Weaver did the fake-to-third, throw-to-first move and caught Robinson Cano napping. With Cano caught in a brief rundown, Alex Rodriguez took off for home. Erick Aybar, though, was able to apply the tag to Cano and throw home for the unconventional double play.
Both outs went as caught stealings. The Yankees entered with an 80.3 percent success rate stealing bases (49-for-61), putting them barely behind the Angels at 80.5 (70-for-87) for the best mark in the AL.
- butchhuskey - Jul 15, 2012 at 2:54 PM
First time I've ever heard of that move working-
Wasn't MLB trying to make it illegal earlier this year?
- Matthew Pouliot - Jul 15, 2012 at 2:57 PM
Yep. It might be banned next year.
- hittfamily - Jul 15, 2012 at 3:01 PM
I find it so foolish to say the move "doesn't work". It works how it is supposed to. It keeps the runner on third close, the runner on first has to wait an extra split second to steal, and the batter may show his hand in whether he is bunting or not.
You don't have to get an out to consider pickoff throws successful. Why is this move different?
- RickyB - Jul 15, 2012 at 3:33 PM
My sentiments exactly. 10 thumbs up to you good sir.
- churchoftheperpetuallyoutraged - Jul 15, 2012 at 3:38 PM
There's probably a large group of people who fall into the "this move is so dumb, no one could possibly fall for it" category so they think it never works.
- kickingiant - Jul 15, 2012 at 6:31 PM
What I hate most about this move is when it clearly does work, and the runner on first or third freezes, but the pitcher is so set on going through the motions that he doesn't throw the ball. My unofficial count only has that happening two or three times a year, but to me makes it more impressive that Weaver pulled the trigger when he had the chance.
- professor59 - Jul 16, 2012 at 4:56 PM
It's not getting banned because it doesn't work. It's getting banned because it is more of a balk than most of the things that currently qualify for a balk already. It deceives the runner as an exception to the balk rule for no good reason, so it's a legal balk.
- churchoftheperpetuallyoutraged - Jul 15, 2012 at 2:57 PM
Yankees with 4 TOOTBLAN's so far this game, and we're only through 5 innings!
- hittfamily - Jul 15, 2012 at 4:40 PM
What the heck is a TOOTBLAN?
Two Out ……?
- churchoftheperpetuallyoutraged - Jul 15, 2012 at 4:41 PM
- randygnyc - Jul 15, 2012 at 3:11 PM
Next year it's a balk.
- brewcrewfan54 - Jul 15, 2012 at 4:40 PM
I fell for that move when I was in high school.
- yankees177 - Jul 15, 2012 at 7:45 PM
First of all the move is called the jeff nelson for a reason. he picked a guy off in the 90s if memory serves. He used to do it all the time hence the nickname. And I was there today, he didnt catch cano napping cano was going and as soon as he realized he was getting picked off he stopped. A couple mistakes happened on the play. Cano had a shot at second as the 2b was out of position when the ss took the throw but he elected to go back to first and arod went at the worst possible time, after thr tag had occurred. Arod shouldve either stayed at 3b OR shouldve taken off as the tag was being attempted. Arods a great baserunner but a couple times this year hes been a little slow on his jumps getting thrown out at home in a game a few weeks back.
- yankees177 - Jul 15, 2012 at 7:47 PM
Oh and the fact that this move is being outlawed is a joke. If it gets people out they deserve it because theyre clearly not paying attention to the game. I still dont understand why other than fans booing this is being changed.
- mrhojorisin - Jul 16, 2012 at 12:03 AM
Actually, I saw this work twice in the same Mets game some years ago. Back in the 90s, I believe, and I think Turk Wendell was the pitcher. He picked two guys off first with it.
- stlouis1baseball - Jul 16, 2012 at 2:12 PM
Yep…and Turk had just brushed his teeth between innings (for the 115th time in his career).
Since the ole' Jeff Nelson worked this time for him Turk and his obsessive compulsive teeth brushing were continued forever. Hell…Turk's probably brushing his teeth right now!
- hgfrombc2 - Jul 16, 2012 at 7:02 AM
Tigers pulled this off against these same Yankees earlier this year and, like everyone else, I was thinking 'seriously, they want to take this out of the game?'. I don't care if it only works 1 out of 10,000 times. I know it's not possible, but I'd like to see the percentages on players picked off 1st per attempt vs. the percentage of outs recorded on the fake-to-third-throw-to-first move.

John H. Broderick Jr., 87: Avid golfer with passion for technology, arts
SOUTH PORTLAND — John Henry Broderick Jr., 87, died in his sleep Feb. 5.
Born in Portland on Jan., 22, 1923, he was a son of John Henry and Dorothy Howard Broderick.
After graduating from Portland High School in 1941, he served in the U.S. Army.
During World War II he served in France and central Europe as a radio operator, relaying messages from troops on the front line to central command.
After the war, he worked as a surveyor during the construction of the Maine Turnpike.
In 1948 he married Jeannette Grace LaPointe.
In 1952 he began work as a brakeman for the Maine Central Railroad until he retired in 1984.
A lifelong sports fan and athlete, he played softball, horseshoes and liked to bowl. His true passion was golf, and he spent his retirement years on Willowdale Golf Course, where he was called "sweet swinger" for his great slice.
He had a great appreciation for the arts and would often recite famous passages of poetry for family and friends. He enjoyed classic movies and classical music.
A longtime passion for technology, he was an electronics enthusiast who fixed televisions and radios as a hobby. In the late 70s he became interested in computers and was one of the first in the neighborhood to own a personal computer.
He was a lifelong member of the V.F.W. Post 832, the Hiram Lodge Masons, the Elks Club, and the American Legion.
He was predeceased by a son, Wayne.
Surviving are his wife of 61 years, Jeannette; two sons, James, and John and daughter-in-law Michelle, and two daughters, Linda, and Nancy and son-in-law Richard Lambert; six grandchildren, Wayne Broderick, Dan Broderick, Alicia Lambert, Stephen Lambert, Liam Broderick, and Sophie Broderick; his brother Richard and sister-in-law Faye Broderick.
Memorial services were held Wednesday.
Arrangements are by Hobbs Funeral Home, 230 Cottage Road, South Portland.

I have a silver subscription and I've purchased two other silver subscriptions for two employees on my account.
When I click on the "Add Collaborator" tab it takes me to a sharing page and I have the option of clicking on the two employees or adding a new one. After selecting an employee I go back to my task page and collaborator drop down and that employee is not there. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Did I set them up with a silver account properly to use this system within our company? Many thanks. |

Check out this video interview with Steve Powers that the New Yorkers documentary series highlights longtime resident and celebrated graffiti vet Steve Powers, aka ESPO.
I've known Steve Powers for years and he never fails to impress or surprise. I told him that we wanted to do a New Yorkers feature on him and he told me to come to a new address in Brooklyn that I've never been to. When I arrived, I was surprised to see that he had set up shop in a 5000 square foot space in downtown Brooklyn. Even more intriguing, but in character for Steve, was that he had somehow convinced some community board to provide this space to him for free. Like the title of his book, Steve is a master of "The Art of Getting Over".

Nonlinear estimation of spectral reflectance based on Gaussian mixture distribution for color image reproduction
Applied Optics, Vol. 41, Issue 23, pp. 4840-4847 (2002)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (377 KB)
Nonlinear estimation method of spectral reflectance from camera responses is proposed. The proposed method minimizes the mean square error of spectral reflectance when the reflectance can be regarded as a random sequence of Gaussian mixture distribution. In computer simulations, 168 samples of spectral reflectance from a color chart are estimated from their image signals obtained by three- and six-band cameras. It is confirmed that the proposed method improves the accuracy in comparison with the conventional Wiener estimation method.

Released: Mar 01st, 2005
Running Time: 90
Director: Wesley B
Company: West Coast Productions
Dominico, Richard Mann, Desire Moore, Stacy Thorn, Cuntre, Tee Real, Brian Pumper, Aspen Stevens, Leo (I), Smoke (I), Avey Lee, Mr. Marcus
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Feature in interracial.
This is the second in a great new interracial series featuring white girls who expand their sexual horizons with the aid of several willing black studs. This installment features Avey Lee, getting double vag'd from the twin tools of Mr. Marcus and Brian Pumper, Desire Moore's first d.p, and several other girls trying new and fun things.
The best scene is sweet, innocent-looking Aspen, who gets a big gooey cream pie from Leo. This title is well produced, as with many West Coast titles, and should be a winner for interracial fans with its good variety of hot action.
